Anime North progress and problems

ladyofthethreadEep, just two more days to pack and prepare for Anime North! I’ve made some progress on things since last time.
The good things:
-I finished Count D’s vacation outfit today! Only took a week, which has to be a record for me, considering I usually end up doing complicated 1-3 month costumes. ^_^; So, of course, I’ll bring it to the con and will most likely take silly pictures with it since D with amnesia is hilarious. XD Will try to post a pic of it before I leave for the con.
-I finished decorating the extra mask I got the other day. I was trying to do it so it could go with either of my nicer D costumes but I think it matches the brocade robe better so that might be what I wear for the ball.
-Most of the older costumes I’m bringing also went to Anime Boston and were ironed after I got home so they don’t require pressing and can just be put in garment bags.
-Confirmations for con registration and hotel rooms have been printed out.
-CD for my masquerade entry has been burned.
-Documentation for Terra has been printed.
-Masquerade entry form has been printed and mostly filled out. Still need to decide on wording for the intro for the MC to read.
-I’ll actually have little groups to cosplay with this time! ^_^ Exciting since some of my favorite series are so rarely cosplayed.
The bad things:
-I have the music ready but I don’t really know what the heck I’m doing for my masquerade presentation. ._.;;; I was trying to figure something out tonight after dinner and unfortunately, I found out that I can’t do things like spinning around. My formal Terra shoes have little kitten heels which cause me to wobble too much; they’re only like half an inch high but the base is about the size of a dime so it’s easy for me to end up off balance. Looks like I might be stuck with just simple posing because I don’t want to risk falling over and hurting myself. I never did have great poses for that costume and it’s close fitting so I don’t even have big skirts or a cape or anything like that I could swish around. -_-;
-And I still have not heard anything more about my color contacts. I’m going to try calling the optometrist again tomorrow if I don’t hear anything but right now my chances of having contacts for Count D before we leave Thursday morning do not look that good. -_-
Tentative costume schedule:
Friday morning: Renrin for Twelve Kingdoms pics with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hikaruchan
Friday afternoon and evening: various Count D costumes for Petshop of Horrors group withnovaraven and her friends
Saturday until the masquerade ends: Terra
Saturday night: Count D’s brocade robe
Sunday: Renrin again and Count D’s vacation outfit
Oh, and I'm thinking of postponing the Kaleido Star cosplay I had planned for Anime Next. Because my Sora wig still looks like an unevenly colored mess and all I have are the sleeves. -_-; I'll only have a little over a month after I get back from Canada and I don't feel up to fixing the wig plus figuring out the other complications of the costume and making most of the thing in that little time.
